This type of idea would only come from my husband. He’s the creative one in this family.

This…

…will hopefully be my new chicken coop.

Vision, people. Vision required.

Just bear with me.

I can picture it (sort of): laying boxes in the 6 seats, roosts across the back part with no seats. I can clean by sweeping everything out the back door and into my wheelbarrow! Someone even took the liberty of ventilating the door with a few bullets.

See? Birds already like it! And there’s a built in mirror for hen primping and rooster self-admiration.

I hope this works – stay tuned!! (You may have to stay tuned for a while because unfortunately this project requires the work of one specific, very sweet husband who is about to be neck deep in watermelons and cotton. But you never know….)

My neighbors are going to be so excited to see this thing in my backyard. I do, after all, live in the middle of town! Maybe a cute paint job will make all the difference!

Child of God, wife of a farmer, mom to a miracle, RN; picture taker, animal lover, Spanish speaker, world traveler, former high school teacher. I love food, knitting, blogging, and living in a small town. I write about a little of all of the above!

Brad is my husband of 6 years and the reason I live across the branch. From a very young age he knew he'd be a farmer. God gave him the love and the talent -- and he's the best looking and the best dressed farmer I know! He's funny, creative, and he's the most wonderful husband and father. He's the one that can make Blair light up like no other.

Blair is four! We are so blessed to have her. She was born very sick, but God gave her strength and brought her through it. She has hearing loss called Auditory Neuropathy and wears hearing aids. She also has chronic lung disease, but you wouldn't know by seeing her! She is the busiest, funniest little thing who keeps us laughing and on our toes. I thank God for her every day.

Leighton is the happy roly poly who joined our family this summer. He has been a joy and is as sweet as his big sister! He's such a blessing, and we're so thankful for him!
